Add Flour in Parts for Wheat Bread Recipe

My name is Branden Sarcus on behalf of Expert Village. Today I am going to show you how to make whole wheat bread. So, I will let this go for a couple of minutes to make sure that everything is nice and mixed up. I also went ahead and taken it and lowered the bowl a few times and shut the motor off and gone and scraped the sides down. So what we are going to do now, we are going to kill the motor for a second and we are going to lower the bowl down and we are going to add two of the eight cups of flour real quick. I just got a measuring cup and I am just dumping it right in their. And I will raise this back up turn this back on. We are going to let this bling. The problem is if you add all the flour at one time we are going to get lumps and it will be really really hard to mix this all together. By just adding a couple cups at a time we kind of help eliminate that problem. You want to do this with all of your flour, you want to make sure that you are scraping the sides down and that you are scraping all the way down to the bottom when you do this so that no flour gets missed. Take your time with this, this is not something that you want to rush through because you want to make sure that you mix all your flour in nice and evenly. See how it has a nice even smooth texture now? Couple lumps in their still but I am not to concerned about it because we have quite a ways as far as adding the flour goes. So that was a quarter of the flour, we are going to go ahead and add the other two cups, so at that point we are using half of our flour. Alright, turn it on low, let it go. This is when you should really see it start to bind up, see how it's really starting to pull together and depending on the kind of lour that you are using I know that if you use just American whole wheat flour this recipe is pretty much spot on. Different kinds of wheat flour have different properties some European wheat flours you might want to use a little bit less you actually want to cut it two thirds or one third with white flour, unbleached flour or a little bit of self-rising. We are going to let this go for a few minutes until we can add the second half. So I will see you in about a minute and half.
